Hi, Geoff~
These little "candy" cacti are so pretty! My interest in cacti has increased exponentially, due to your photos & article. If I wanted to purchase some of the cacti shown (the small, colorful, candy ones, for starters), what would I ask for at the nursery? Thanks for your time.

Those are Gymnocalycium fredrichiis and Peanut cacti grafted. The colors are bizarre, but popular. However, I have not had much luck keeping those alive long.
